Santa Claus is being recognized for honoring a veteran at Concord Mall in Wilmington, Delaware. Gina Wilbur was walking through the mall when she snapped a photo of the heartwarming moment when Santa Claus got down on one knee to thank 93-year-old World War II veteran Bob Smiley for his service. She shared the photo on Facebook, where it went viral and was seen by members of the veteran's family.

"I hear Santa telling the gentleman, in a soft voice, of others he knew who served. He shakes his hand with genuine gratefulness thanking him for his service and returns to the children. Best moment of my day" Wilbur wrote in her post.

When Smiley's family saw the photo, they reached out to Wilbur to thank her for sharing the moment with the world.
